Re: The Girls Only Thread

i really love this thread too. victorias secret is my lifesaver. one time i tried to buy a bra online and they sent it in my size but it felt about two cups too small. i will never buy bras over the internetz again.

Re: The Girls Only Thread

funny story about express underwear...

years ago, they used to send out those postcards that were $15 towards a purchase at express, excluding accessories. they wanted you to spend more than $15, but i was poor. so i figured that i could get a couple of pairs of underwear with the $15.

i went to the counter and the sales lady said i couldn't use the coupon cause it wasn't good on accessories. i was like "ummm, i don't know what you do with your underwear, but underwear is not an accessory". and she argued with me. i kept saying "what am i going to do, wear this on my wrist?!"

we went back and forth and i was like "i understand if y'all aren't going to take the coupon, but you have to realize how crazy it is to call underwear an accessory." they never admitted it and i didn't shop at express for years after that, lol.

Omg that sounds good Ivy. I rarely eat red meat, but on Friday I had this amazing amazing amazing Argentinian-style steak stuffed with a roasted garlic/ caramelized jalapeno mixture and topped with chimichurri sauce. I am still thinking about it four days later.

I was craving old-style popcorn popped in oil today. You know, the homemade kind you make in your own oil popper. I don't even know if they make those anymore (I saw one at Fry's grocery store about 5 years ago).

Re: The Girls Only Thread

What I do is get a really thick-bottomed saucepan or pot. The fill the bottom with a thin layer of oil (I really like olive oil for the taste, but use whatever you like). Heat on medium heat for a couple of minutes until the oil is viscous and you can tell that it's hot. Then, add corn kernels. But the trick is that you can only have one layer, so don't add too much. You can shake it a bit so they sit evenly across the bottom of the pot but they should all be touching the bottom. Then, cover the pot and let it sit on medium-low heat until the popping has stopped (or nearly stopped). No stirring should be required, although sometimes I pick up the pot and give it a few quick taps onto the burner with the lid still on, halfway through popping, just to make sure all the unpopped kernels have gotten to the hot bottom.
